Loudon Twp. & Fostoria City -
JAMES W. QUINN, baker and grocer, Fostoria, was born in Ireland, May 8, 1837, son of James and Mary (Madigan) Quinn, natives of County limerick, Ireland, and who came to this county in 1851, settling in Tiffin, where the father, a blacksmith by trade, which he followed sixty-two years, engaged in business until his death; he died in 1859, at the age of seventy-eight years. Of their family of eleven children, four attained maturity: John (now deceased); James W.; David, a resident of Tiffin, and Eugene, residing in Michigan. Our subject was reared in Tiffin, Ohio, from twelve years of age, and there received a common school education. At the age of sixteen, he entered a bakery at Tiffin, serving an apprenticeship of three years, after which he engaged in bridge-building for two seasons. He then clerked for several years in different branches of business and conducted a bakery in Tiffin for several years more. He located in Fostoria, this county, in 1871, and embarked in the grocery and bakery business on his own account. In 1884 he erected the fine brick building he now occupies (known as the "Quinn Block"), one of the handsomest business edifices in the city. Mr. Quinn was married, in November, 1857, to Mary, daughter of Benjamin Quinlaw, of Ireland, and by her he has had eight children, six now living: James, Anna, Clara, Jessie, John and Julia. Mr. Quinn and family are members of the Catholic Church. Politically he is a Democrat.
